Along those lines I would add that a nominal X-Ohm trace can
have +/- several Ohms of variation due to even and odd mode
signaling. So a "50 Ohm" trace can easily show 48-52 Ohms of
impedance in such situations. So much for all the fuss about
matching the impedance of the driver and/or termination to the
line impedance precisely...

Ok, I'll bite too.

Reporting the impedance of a PCB trace at 50.123 Ohms when measurement
accuracy is +/- .5 ohms at best.

Using a 40 ps TDR edge to measure propagation delay for a considerably
slower application.
